I like rugby :-)



If you've ever had the great (mis)fortune to sit with me at a rugby game (whether live or televised), the first thing that you'll notice is that i get rather loud, and as the game goes on, more foul-mouthed as well...

the air was definitely green at my place over the weekend, as the NPC (national provincial championship) kicked of with the first and second divisions, as well as the 3rd test of the Tri-nations (All Blacks vs Australia, in Sydney)... so i had several games to work myself up to fever-pitch before the ABs game (which we won 30-13, but more on that some other time)...

Ever wonder how good you are at picking the score for rugby games? then wonder no more by joining http://www.virtualnpc.co.nz/home.asp and pit your skills against 95,000+ other rugby heads...

So all in all, starting on friday evening, thru to sundary arvo, there was 10 rugby games, and since i've (smartly) subscribed to "The Rugby Channel" on SkyTV, i'm just spoilt for choice, and it often takes a while for me to get around to chores and everything else that the significant other asks me to do...

next weekend there'll be another 5 games, with the NPC Third division starting up, but it's doubtful that they'll show those games live (or at all), but i'll be looking forward to the high-lights :-)
